which is the best less-crappy and CHEAP card??

hey guys, a friend of mine is opening a cyber-coffee... he says he wants gaming-capable computers but nothing expensive.

Anything like r9600xt or gffx 5700 or above are out of the question, i know computers with such video cards wont game well but thats okay, ppl wont notice anything above 640x480 and mid details, lol...

i was thinking about a gffx 5200, im not sure if the one i can get localy is the 128bit version or the 64 bit one (which sux), but im pretty sure i can get a r9200 (non se)... so which one is the best?

this cards might play doom3, i know at crap resolutions and detail but anything is okay. Im leaning towards the gffx 5200, what do you guys think? any input is greatly appreciated
